Looks great! What did you end up paying for that grill?

@load97First post on page 1. It's currently $171 for grill. Same price on the letters.

The RAM letters linked in the OP are the matte black version... Where did you get the chrome ones you used in the pictures with the black grill?
Edit: found some chrome 2019 DT style ones; hopefully they are the same....

Anyone try these letters with the new grill?
Ended up buying the larger 2017-2018 limited RAM letters along with an 80w plastic welding iron and 1600w hot air welder from harbor freight (get the warranty).
Cut up some old abs plastic bezels for material/welding rods and made a framework from the back of the grill to attach them. It was a mess and not recommended. Maybe it's easier with better equipment. Chrome finish on the back of the letters impedes the plastic welding and should be removed if possible.

That looks really good.
I’m planning on staying the chrome black route. How does the grill match up with the Crystal black paint?

It's very tough to tell it's gloss black vs the crystal/brilliant black like the rest of the truck.
Edit: in bright sunlight you can tell it's you stare at it long enough.
If anyone wants the smaller 2019 DT style chrome Ram letters I didn't use let me know.
As purchased & latest pictures attached...

Just got mine in the mail today. I am looking for a white LED to swap out also. Any luck finding them yet?Bought it off ebay, was $129 shipped, fits perfect, 100% happy. Wish it had white leds, been trying to come up with a white led setup.
Where did you order this grill from?I was considering to buy same grill as you (just chrome version) but I ordered grille with new design. Have to say i'm very pleased with the choice

Aren't they molded into the grill? I ended up plastic welding letters into the grill I bought. (See previous posts above)
No, please let me know if you find them also. The rebel and raptor replica grills both use the same little led things, I found clear, smoked and amber, but all amber leds. There is rebel replica grill out there that does have white leds, I emailed ebay seller and they don't sell the leds which is odd since if you buy one, how would you ever get a replacement. I could just get the which screw type leds but would rather get the ones the grill has.Just got mine in the mail today. I am looking for a white LED to swap out also. Any luck finding them yet?
